[QUOTE="wat0114, post: 1079583, member: 91306"] UAC alerts display some information about the file trying to execute, or in the case of CS' demo, the file that bypasses UAC without user interaction, which can be useful to the user who pays attention. A grey background will be a known publisher file, while a yellow background, like the bypass in CS' demo, will be an unknown publisher. Obviously the bypass demo has done the damage or started it, but if the user is paying attention, maybe they can take steps to at least prevent further damage. I agree 100% with [USER=107474]@LennyFox[/USER] post above. There is an informative article on how UAC works: [URL unfurl="true"]https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/application-security/application-control/user-account-control/how-it-works[/URL] [/QUOTE]
